Freedom Writers (Gruwell 56-112)

Summary:
After reading more stories, a message is sent out from each story, and most of them are similar. The message they send out is, out lives are the same. But when you see life flash before your eyes, or when you see other people scoop down real low to end another life, what do you do? How do you react to it? How can you control your emotion? Where can you go? They experiences of these kids leave a blank and confused mind of what to do next, and how to get past what happen without crying every night.

Quote:
they say american is the "land of the free and home of the brave," but what's so free about a land where people get killed?

Reactions: my reactions where heart braking. Some people may think their lives in bad cause they live in boston or other reasons. But after reading about Thomas it changes everything. He had to fight threw two close death. His best friend was kidnap, beat up, then killed because of being shot in the head five times. His cousin died while diving home. They tried to rob his mom car while he and his mother was in the car. They shot him took the car and his mother had to hold her son until he died. And his last words was I love you. Now hoe do you get past that ?
